after trying to install alot of linux version on this laptop (ubuntu, fedora core, pclinuxos,debian) , and they didn't satisfy me, i go back to good ol puppy.
here starts the problem:
puppy boots perfectly and works flawlessly except this,
the ethernet interface doesn't connect, i have an eth0 button, i put ip and gw, but it simply doesn't work (realtek RTL8139 family)
wireless doesn't work as well, also i can't install wifibeta since i dont have ethernet connection (broadcom 802.11b/g)
modem is dead also, i can't find it by clicking on the buttons..is an Ac97 softmodem under winzoze (should be a conexant since works with conexant drivers).

also:
i want puppy to boor from hdd with no cd, and i've a fat partition, i wish to install puppy on that partition as well as grub as bootloader, so i can choose if i want winzoze or puppy any time and no need to care of a cd (i don't have floppy).

Also R4000 without ethernet and wireless, Conexant,Broadcom, Ti, Realtec are some of the items to sort out. Audio not reconized. I booted puppy live from cd and usb flashdrive. New enough to be intrigued and looking now at hardware drivers and ndiswrapper for broadcom wireless g. I like the speed of running in ramdrive. I have heard of some Broadcom working without ndiswrapper. Is this most desireable and only good on some other distros?
